PO Academy I – Product Owner Role, Craft, Skills and Tools, Your journey as a Product Owner begins here.
Product Owner is a relatively new, yet very hot role with rapidly growing demand. According to Glassdoor the median salary of a Product Owner is $107,368 in US. Whether you are already stepping into this role, or are only considering to become a PO in the near future, this course is for you.
After completing this course you will develop a good understanding of the role (who Product Owners are and what they do), the craft (what constitutes the majority of their day to day work), the skills and the tools you need to master in order to be successful. We will cover all the basics of customer research, product planning, working with a team and with stakeholders. Most of the lessons are followed by practical exercises which would allow you to immediately apply the new knowledge and skills, identify your strengths and weaknesses and gradually become a good Product Owner.
It is impossible to learn a new profession in 3 hours, but this course will provide you with all the information you need to get started. In the following courses of this series we will be diving deeper into different aspects of the profession, so after nailing all the basics you will know what you need to learn and practice next.
What should you expect after completing this course?
You will develop an in-depth understanding of the profession, key skills and tools. You will know what are your strengths that will help you to excel in the Product Owner role and you will understand in which areas you need to gain additional knowledge or practice. You will develop a fluency in Product Owner lingo, and will have enough theoretical knowledge to start interviewing for the junior Product Owner roles. You will master a number of useful tools that you can add to your resume and you will be able to confidently navigate product planning and development processes.
Emm… What about Product Managers?
We will discuss it in the course, but in most companies the roles of PO and PM often overlap.
